Mission Statement

Our mission is to help children in need reach their potential through professionally supported Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring relationships that will improve the lives of these children forever.

 Vision

Our vision is to put a Big Brother Big Sister into the life and hope into the future of every child in need of a mentor.

 

Purpose of Big Brothers Big Sisters

The quality of our future depends upon the encouragement and support our young people receive today. Therefore, it is the goal of our agency to provide youth the opportunity to reach their fullest potential through enhancing self-esteem, developing decision-making skills, and establishing rewarding friendships with volunteers who are positive adult role models.

The volunteer spends a consistent amount of time with the child each month, engaged in everyday fun activities, building a relationship which is rewarding for both the child and the volunteer.

Our program staff assists the "Matches" in nurturing the most safe and meaningful relationship possible. They answer your questions, provide assistance and support, and keep you informed of Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County happenings and special events.
